If you’re looking for autumnal flair, nothing does it better than pumpkin spice. And if you want pumpkin spice in something other than a latte, give this granola a try! This Low Carb Pumpkin Spice Gluten Free Granola has rich pumpkin spice flavor and great crunch. I used flaked coconut not for its coconutty flavor (which is covered up surprisingly well by pumpkin pie spice mix), but because it looks similar to oats, which makes it feel like you’re sitting down to a bowl of regular granola.…

This Flourless Chocolate Cake with Caramel and Chocolate Ganache (Paleo Gluten Free Chocolate Cake Recipe) is a fun twist on a classic candy: the turtle!

My inspiration for this cake was turtle candy, which is pecans and caramel dipped in chocolate. This cake’s flavor is deep chocolate and it’s sweet enough without being too sweet; its texture is light without being overly fluffy or spongy. On top of the cake I added a layer of vegan caramel made from dates and a couple other common ingredients. I made a quick chocolate ganache layer using cacao butter as the base for topping the caramel, but if you’re pressed for time you could melt a chocolate bar and use that instead. Additionally, a sprinkling of pecans adds crunch and nutty flavor….

One summer dessert recipe that always takes me back to childhood is shortcake. Particularly, strawberry shortcake made with berries we picked at a nearby farm. I would watch my mom wash and hull them, douse them in sugar, and stick them in the fridge until after dinner. The funny thing is, while everyone else was eating strawberry shortcake, I’d sit down to a bowl full of macerated strawberries with a dollop of whipped cream and be a happy girl!…

For the strawberry shortcake lovers, this Low Carb Shortcake (Gluten Free Biscuits) will become your new favorite dessert! They have a fluffy crumb, great biscuit texture, and subtle hint of sweet vanilla-almond flavor.

Low Carb Shortcake (Gluten Free Biscuits) are your answer to the bounty of summer fruit. So many people tell me that shortcake of some kind (usually strawberry, but occasionally peach) is their absolute favorite dessert. For those of us who follow a low carb, keto, or gluten free lifestyle, it that doesn’t mean we don’t crave our old favorites….

There’s something about oatmeal cookies that makes them the ultimate comfort food. They’re soft and chewy thanks to oats and raisins, laced with cinnamon, and often with a little nutty crunch in the form of walnuts. For those of us living a paleo lifestyle, these noatmeal cookies are a beautiful substitute. Full of nourishing ingredients like grass-fed butter, coconut, and almond, they are a surprisingly good replica of regular oatmeal cookies (the coconut is what gives them their chewy factor!)….

Chia pudding revolutionizes the making of pudding! Gone are the days when you have to stand over a hot stovetop, stirring your heart out. Chia pudding makes itself; all you do is combine chia seeds and liquid and stash it in the fridge overnight.

Also gone is the time when pudding was full of unpronounceable non-food “foods”, like what you’d find in the store-bought pudding mixes. Making chia pudding at home lets you use wholesome, nourishing ingredients.

And lastly, having pudding equate to something that’s heavy laden with sugar is also a thing of the past. You can sweeten your own homemade version of chia pudding with any healthy sweetener that fits into your lifestyle, like fruit (like mashed banana or pureed dates), stevia, honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar, etc….

This thick and rich Healthy Paleo-Friendly Snickers Smoothie with chocolate, caramel sauce, and salted peanuts will have you convinced you’re eating ice cream when it’s actually healthy enough for breakfast.

What if I told you it’s easy to transform a banana and just a few other ingredients (which are mostly just fridge and/or pantry staples) into something that tastes like both a milkshake and a candy bar? Welcome to the world of smoothies….

Being a food blogger, friends and family frequently gift me with random food items (I’ve had neighbors drop off crates of fresh carrots and friends bring back spices from their travels around the world), share their crazy food ideas (like chocolate-covered mashed potato truffles) and requests (a friend tried to commission me to make an ice cream that doesn’t melt, lol), and share with me their beautiful props….

Richly aromatic with butter, vanilla, and almond, this Low-Carb Keto Vanilla-Almond Yellow Butter Cake has great flavor and texture, and just 4 g net carbs per serving!

I honestly didn’t think it would be possible to come up with a low-carb sugar-free cake with both great texture and flavor that rivals regular cake. Such a thing sounds like a white unicorn, mythological, the stuff legends are made of, but don’t really exist in real life….

Low-Carb “Maple” Cheesecake Mousse uses a spice called fenugreek that’s known for its caramel-y maple-like flavor in a rich treat that is basically a fat bomb in mousse form!

Maple syrup has always been and will always be one of my favorite sweeteners. The absolute only reason I try to limit it in my eating is because even though it’s a natural form of sugar, it still has the same effect on the body and I noticed I feel much better (in terms of steady energy) if I limit my sugar consumption. But that didn’t stop me from simulating its flavor….
